Ed1, do you reckon there's any more business to be done in January? It's just I've been hearing Goretzka is very keen on a move to Liverpool.

{Ed001's Note - it is unlikely, FFP will make it difficult for much more to be done.}

Regarding ffp ed, if we were to make any signing similar to the Keita one would that only affect expenditure in the following season or when the deal is struck?

Cheers.

{Ed002's Note - The money counts in the season it is due and paid. So for Keita, part this season (the additional sum) and part when the transfer fee is paid.}

So out best route for signings would be securing free transfers for the summer? Would that be correct?

If so there are four players out there that would be decent buys ( or all of them obviously) .

Gimenez.
De Brij.
Meyer.
Goretzka.

{Ed002's Note - I have certainly never said that. Whatever clubs do they need to comply with the FFP regulations - and they cover money spent, the amount of money the owners can put in to the club to help out with transfer and wages.}

I'd take Gimenez and Goretzka from that list. The VVD fee would balance out if we got two brilliant players on pre contracts.
But there seems to be a lot of interest from many top sides in those two players. Klopp will do well to get those two signed up.

How do people always come up with the 'this will mean that' theory? You can't guess what will happen. The eds know how it works and mostly where interest lies etc but can't give answers based on ifs, buts and maybes. I'm surprised the straw industry has any left to sell with the amount people are clutching!
